Cummins weighs expansion in Indy

INDIANAPOLIS - Property brokers say engine maker Cummins Inc. is considering several locations in downtown Indianapolis to build an office building that would expand its presence in the city.

The Columbus, Ind.-based company now leases space in two downtown buildings for about 70 employees. The Indianapolis Business Journal reported Cummins is looking to construct its own building of about 70,000 square feet, or more than double its current leased space.

Cummins spokesman Jon Mills said the company is evaluating its Indianapolis office presence and that it's too early to discuss details of its plans.
